Day 2 was busy. We started the day walking the riverfront in Paducah as well as downtown. Our primary mission was to tour the National Quilt Museum. It is really an amazing place displaying the skills and creativity of folks from all over the world. As we see you, we can share with you some of the details of the museum. Unfortunately, they wouldn't allow any cameras.
Here are some pictures:
This is the bridge over the Ohio River connecting Illinois to Kentucky.
This is a picture to show some of the river traffic and also how wide the river is
Nashville is about 150 miles from Paducah. Once we got here we found the ticket office to get tickets for Tuesday's performance. Next we got a room in the Cascades hotel portion of the Gaylord convention center.
This Grand Ole Opry has been in this location since 1974. They still use the building downtown.
This is the program from last night. They seem to create the program as it proceeds. It was, however, an exceptional program with remarkable entertainers and musicians.
A few of the entertainers
John Conlee
Riders in the Sky
Little Jimmy Dickens - Celebrating 61 years as a member of the Grand Old Opry
What a fun day!
Today we plan to stroll around downtown Nashville and head out. We'll decide over breakfast where we will go. Since it's Wednesday already and we plan to be in Memphis Friday or Saturday we need to sort of plan Wednesday through Friday.
